Class Histor . . . In the September of 1942, we entered Lincoln High School as green freshies . . . Ah yes! From down the halls and from across the streets we heard the echoes of the heckling upperclassmen as they gathered in grou.ps to toss the sort of teasing remarks that we later used in greeting the classes which followed us . . . We wandered off by ourselves in celebrating the annual class party during the year, for the sophomores had voted against the combining of the two classes in this bit of social en- tertainment. To the amazement of us wide-eyed Freshies , a more enjoyable evening was never spent. This eventful and ever to be remembered year was followed by an even more exciting and interesting year . . . full of industry and fun. While our friends and relation battled it out with the japanese, Germans and Italians, we had our minor battles at P.H.S. during our sophomore year. Mrs. Gaskill marched the entire school into her little office and halted the battle of stu- dents vs. cooties, while in the biology classes, private feuds went on between students and Mr. Phelps. These little battles were all in fun' and did their part in making this chapter in the history of the 1946 graduating class interesting and memorable. lit last! We were upperclassmen! Life was still a whirlpool of fun with our class right in the center, as the boys donned brightly colored corduroy pants of orange, red, yellow, and green and proudly held them up with suspenders of gay plaids, stripes, and even pastel floral designsllll Not to be outdone, of course, the girls showed that they were determined to wear the pants in the family of juniors. So it was in this year tha.t blue denim jeans lrolled up to the kneesl were sported by P.H.S. girls along with long plaid shirts tshirt tails outl. Pigtails prevailed in hair-do's for this year until the unever-to be-forgotten Ir.-Sr. prom rolled 'round. Hair came down and girls stepped out of loafer-shoes into spike-heel shoes with unpretentious grace while their escorts threw down their flashy-fads temporarily and looked handsomely dignified in suits plus ties. Back into the fads-of-the-moment stepped both the males and females of P.H.S. as we ventured into our final year at our beloved Alma Mater, Crew-haircuts were one of the styles left over from the previous year. Dick forgot to say stop whil'st the barber clipped away and the result was hideously amusing. Rumors were that the world was to come to an end during this year, but time marched on, and with it . . . the seniors of Lincoln High-as we marched into our last prom and activities. Senior play . . . Ir.-Sr. prom . . . banquets . . . baccalaureate . . . and finally . . . commencement -the day which found us regretting our departure from P.H.S.
